Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the surrounding products had made Yu Niaoniao a large sum of money, she had not forgotten her original intentions.

She said to Zheng Changle, “Can we talk in private? I have something to discuss with you.”

Zheng Changle hugged his precious pillow and let go. He was as happy as a 200-pound fatty.

No matter how he looked at Yu Niaoniao, she was pleasing to the eye. When he heard this, he agreed without thinking.

“Sure. Let’s talk next door.”

Zheng Changle greeted the others and left the private room with Yu Niaoniao.

Wei Liao watched them leave and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Yu Niaoniao and Zheng Changle entered the private room next door.

Zheng Changle was still hugging his big pillow. His chubby face was pressed against the pillow as he looked at Yu Niaoniao and asked.

“Go ahead. What is it?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I know you’re a straightforward person, so I’ll be straightforward. I’m planning to film a show. I’ve already prepared the script. I need your opera troupe to provide the cast and performance venue. I’ll pay the fee. If we earn money, we’ll split it equally. How about that?”

As the young master of the Heavenly Oriole Garden, Zheng Changle naturally knew very well about the opera troupe.

Although he liked Yu Niaoniao, doing business was a separate matter. Even biological brothers had to settle accounts clearly.

He sat up a little straighter and asked.

“Did you bring the script?”

Yu Niaoniao immediately took out the sketchbook and handed it over.

Zheng Changle carefully placed the pillow in the chair beside him, picked up the sketchbook, and opened it.

He recognized it on just one page and blurted it out.

“Is this a book drawn by Master Wang at the Village Entrance?”

Yu Niaoniao admitted frankly, “Yes.”

Zheng Changle snorted. “I wonder what ridiculous story he drew this time?”

Even as he said that, his hand deftly turned to the second page.

Yu Niaoniao sat quietly at the side and waited.

It was a thin sketchbook, only about ten pages long. He quickly flipped through it.

Zheng Changle did not react. “That’s it?”

Unwilling to give up, he flipped back a few more times. Unfortunately, there was nothing left.

Yu Niaoniao explained, “It’s just a small portion. If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I’ll show you the complete play.”

Zheng Changle reluctantly put down the sketchbook.

“To be honest, the plot of your play is indeed quite exciting. Even if it’s only a small portion of the first half, it’s already piqued my appetite. But I have a question. I wonder if I should ask?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Go ahead.”

Zheng Changle lowered his voice slightly. “The male lead in your play is Duke Lang… Could he be the one in charge of the Justice Department now?” Yu Niaoniao asked, “What do you think?”

Zheng Changle hugged the pillow back into his arms and shrunk his neck.

“Don’t you know how scary the Justice Department and the Eagle Guards are? If our opera troupe dares to frame Duke Lang, we’ll probably have to pack up and leave soon. In serious cases, we might even be imprisoned!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t worry about that. I guarantee that the Justice Department and the Eagle Guards won’t do anything to your opera troupe. Just go ahead and rehearse.”

Zheng Changle did not believe it.

“You’re just a young man selling goods. Can you control the Justice Department? The Eagle Guards are a group of evil spirits who eat people without spitting out their bones.”

Yu Niaoniao said helplessly, “The Eagle Guards are really not as terrifying as you think. Like you, they are ordinary people with flesh and blood.” Zheng Changle was a little angry when he heard this.

“If you tell anyone else this, see how many people will believe you.”

“Putting aside other matters, the Eagle Guards captured Ye Yin from our opera class yesterday.”

“Although Ye Yin had spent a little, he was not a bad person and had not done anything bad. However, those Eagle Guards rushed in and captured him indiscriminately.”

“He was not released until noon today. He had been sick when he returned.” “He s still in bed. The doctor said that he wanted to recuperate for a while.”

“My father told me that although Ye Yin had been released, he had offended the

Eagle Guards. He probably could not stay in the Imperial Capital anymore.”

“When he recovers, we’ll have to send him away. That kid, Ye Yin, sang quite well. Originally, we planned to promote him. Now, that kid’s future was ruined.

What do you think this is?!”

Yu Niaoniao did not expect this.

She tried to defend herself. “The Eagle Guards don’t arrest people randomly. There must be a reason they took Ye Yin.”

Zheng Changle frowned at her.

“Why are you so protective of the Eagle Guards? Don’t tell me you’re one of them. But you don’t look like one. I remember that the Eagle Guards have selection criteria. They have to be tall. You’re so short that you’ll be eliminated in the preliminary round.”

Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

She covered her stabbed heart and said weakly.

“If you’re talking, talk properly. Don’t make personal attacks.”

Her height of 1.65 meters was not short among women!

Zheng Changle said, “When the Eagle Guards took Ye Yin away, they didn’t say anything. We, commoners, don’t dare to ask.”

“In any case, it’s up to them to arrest or release him.”

From his tone and expression, it was obvious that he had a lot of resentment toward the Eagle Guards.

Yu Niaoniao changed her angle and continued to persuade him.

“You just said that you wanted to send Ye Yin away. In my opinion, why don’t you keep him? Isn’t my script short of people? Give him to me. The price is negotiable.”

Zheng Changle sized her up. “I’ve already told you that Ye Yin is someone who has been locked up in the Justice Department’s prison. If you keep him here and the Justice Department finds trouble with you in the future, you have to bear it yourself. We don’t dare to interfere.”

Yu Niaoniao promised confidently.

“Don’t worry. As long as Ye Yin is honest and doesn’t violate the rules, I guarantee that he’ll be safe and sound. No one will dare to find trouble with him.”

Zheng Changle said, “I still have to discuss this with my father. In addition, I have to ask Ye Yin for his opinion. Come back tomorrow. I’ll give you an answer then. ”

Yu Niaoniao agreed.

She reached out to take the sketchbook away.

Zheng Changle reached out and pressed the sketchbook down.

Yu Niaoniao looked at him in confusion.

Zheng Changle cleared his throat. “Can you sell this book to me?”

This was a book personally drawn by Master Wang at the Village Entrance. Although it was only a dozen pages, it was more collectible than the paintings sold on the market.

He was naturally very covetous.

Yu Niaoniao rolled her eyes and said, “If you really want it, I can give you this book. ”

Zheng Changle was pleasantly surprised.

But he was a businessman and knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world.

He tried to remain calm. “What are your conditions?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I want to set up the show. Help me make this happen.”

Zheng Changle was in a difficult position.

“You can set up the show, but this script of yours is really too dangerous.”

“Once performed it’s equivalent to dancing on the tip of a knife. Not to mention me, even my father wouldn’t dare take such a risk.” “Why don’t you change the script? Or change the male lead?” Yu Niaoniao’s upper body leaned forward slightly.

She stared into Zheng Changle’s eyes and enunciated each word.

“I won’t change either the script or the male lead..”
